Undershadow

For those who like this kind of sound, there’s a free netlabel called cism (http://www.cismsound.net), who have a few releases up for download. Their V/A comp, Cismarine, is a pretty decent representation of this whole New Wave of Dub-techno thing:

Back in biz, ambidubtechno mix-mongers! For those that thrilled to the first instalment, nowthatswhaticallmnmlambidubtechno! vol.1, and gasped open-mouthed as the second volume hit them with a double whammy in the auricular canal and solar plexus, the next mix has just been assembled and uploaded for downloading delight (or for stream-savouring). Available via this page:

This mix sees a slight tweaking of the paradigm, in that, while retaining the tech and the ambient and a good dose of the dub, it pushes the textures and atmospheres towards the shoegaze and dreampop side, the mnml sometimes ceding to stretched swathes of shoesy-wooze for more of a lazy hazy crazy shoegazey daze of a dub-techno mix. Incidentally, watch out for a bloke called Jesse Somfay, two of whose tracks find their way onto here. Now I reckon this guy knows (better than try-hards The Field, Nathan Fake, et al.) how to capture a distillate of the essence of guitar-gaze and synth-wooze (MBV through to BoC) for effective infusion into a technoid template.

Another fine mix! This was the soundtrack as my son & I pit together a poster project for his science class. Ambidubtech goes perfectly with protons, neutrons, electrons, isotopes, energy shells, quarks, etc.
